Huio is one of [[Lopen]]'s cousins. He is a short,{{book ref|sa3|111}} bald,{{book ref|sa3.5|11}} beefy man with thick arms.{{book ref|sa2|46}} He is known among Bridge Four for his propensity to visit prostitutes.{{book ref|sa3|35}} His lack of fluency in Alethi is a source of embarrassment to him,{{book ref|sa3|55}} though he gets a sense of satisfaction and pride out of his cooking skill.{{book ref|sa3|37}} He demonstratesis a curious and scientificscientifically mindminded inperson, hisand has a fondness for taking apart fabrials to experiment with them and better understand how they work, though this frequently results in him breaking the fabrial beyond repair. {{book ref|sa3.5|7}}
 
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Huio is a [[Windrunner]], quick to pick up on how to draw in [[Stormlight]]. This allows him to use Stormlight and access the [[Surge]]s of [[Surgebinding#Gravitation|Gravitation]] and [[Surgebinding#Adhesion|Adhesion]] when in Kaladin's proximity.{{book ref|sa3|37}} He is also fairly skilled in field medicine--at least, more so than [[Teft]]--and a more than adept cook.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}}{{book ref|sa3|37}} After Huio swore the Third Ideal of the Windrunners, his spren [[Caelinora]] gained the ability to become a [[Shardblade]], which can be summoned in the form that he chooses, including a hammer.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}}
 
Along with [[Rock]] and [[Lopen]], Huio is one of the only members of Bridge Four that can swim.{{book ref|sa3.5|3}}
 
== History ==
Late in 1173, Lopen brought Huio and another of his cousins, [[Rod (Roshar)|Rod]], to join Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa2|46}} He ended up often being on kitchen duty with [[Rock]], requesting the duty more and more as the others became squires. Huio once added a handful of [[lazbo]] to some [[shiki]] he was stirring for Rock, much to Rock's horror. When Rock tasted it, however, he realized Huio had improved on the original recipe. He even began to ask Huio's advice on some recipes.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
 
Huio also pulled shifts guarding the Kholins with the rest of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa3|104}} He was part of the group that went with [[Dalinar]] to [[Thaylen City]] to check on [[Amaram]]'s progress helping rebuild the city from the damage from the [[Everstorm]] and to attend a conference with Queen [[Fen]] and the other monarchs who had joined their coalition. The soldiers from Bridge Four were with Dalinar in the conference, so they heard the translation of the [[Eila Stele]]; this demoralized the group enough that they left Dalinar behind and returned to [[Urithiru]] on their own.{{book ref|sa3|111}} When they returned to the Bridge Four barracks, they discovered the aftermath of [[Taravangian]]'s plot to steal back [[Jezrien]]'s [[Honorblade]]: Rock and [[Bisig]] were gravely injured, and [[Eth]] was dead. Huio, the best at field medicine present, attended to Rock until they could get him to [[Renarin]].{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}
 
When he began earning a stipend as a Radiant, he sent most of it to his family to help out the poorer cousins, of which a large part went to [[Rod (Roshar)|Rod]]'s family.{{book ref|sa3.5|7}}
 
=== Expedition to Aimia ===
A few months after the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Lopen and Huio were chosen by [[Kaladin]] to join athe Thaylen [[expedition to AimiaAkinah]] aboard the ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]'' as they were the only Windrunners capable of swimming.,{{book ref|sa3.5|4}} Huioand isdid saidnot toyet have their Blades.{{book ref|sa3.5|13}} Huio spendspent the early portions of the trip assisting the crew with shipboard duties.{{book ref|sa3.5|5}} Because of Huio struggles with Alethi, Lopen frequently pullspulled his cousin into conversations to translate jokes. Huio is seen tinkeringtinkered with Rushu's spanreenspanreed and the aluminum foil - an activity that ultimately results in the discovery of aluminum-modified [[fabrial]]s.{{book ref|sa3.5|87}} He also seems to have some sense for the behavior of the spren trapped in the fabrial and the implications of aluminum, although it is unclear if this is his own knowledge or if it is related to his bond with [[Caelinora]].

=== War in Emul ===
At some point during Lopen's absence, Huio begins to fight the large hordeling that is attacking the Wandersail. Lopen arrives just in time to rescue Huio from its jaws. The two proceed to fight the creature to give the crew time to escape. Lopen tried in vain to swear the Third Ideal. After Lopen's assault fails, and he falls to the ground injured, Huio swears the Third Ideal to save Lopen and proceeds to summon [[Caelinora]] as a true Shardhammer to shatter the hordeling's arm. Shortly after, Huio kills it with a shardspear through the head. The two escape while Ryns' negotiation continues underground.{{book ref|sa3.5|15}}

Back at the ship, Lopen and Huio discuss the Third Ideal. Lopen swallows hard to congratulate his cousin on beating him to it - upon which Huio implies that his Third Ideal involved protecting Lopen. Lopen understands the implication that Huio hates him (or at least harbors ill will) as the known examples of the Third Ideal begin with "I will protect even those I hate". Huio, however, swears that he does not hate Lopen and that the Third Ideal does not have to involve hatred - although the constant ribbing and teasing from his cousin could be a bit much.
